Crypto markets still holding steady this Friday; Ripple on a rampage, Bitcoin Cash and SV falling back.<\/h5>\n

Market Wrap<\/a><\/h2>\n

Crypto markets have maintained their momentum as another week draws to a close. There has been a minor pullback for some of the major tokens but others are doing well today. Total market capitalization has remained above $170 billion as Bitcoin holds steady at $5,000.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin fell back to $4,840 a few hours ago but has managed to recover during today\u2019s Asian trading session to reach $5,000 once again. Momentum may by cooling off however as daily volume has fallen back to $17 billion \u2013 which is still pretty high compared to the past six months. BTC is likely to consolidate here for a while.<\/p>\n

Ethereum has remained flat over the past 24 hours and is still priced just below $165. Volume has dropped back to $7 billion and the week\u2019s momentum appears to have run out of steam. XRP conversely has woken up as the Ripple token surges<\/a> 13 percent today. The move has taken XRP from an intraday low of $0.330 to its highest level since early January, $0.373. A recent partnership announcement<\/a> with UK finance firm RationalFX yesterday may have driven momentum. It has also been reported that Gmail users will now be able to send XRP to each other via a new Chrome plugin called MoneyMessage.<\/p>\n

The rest of the top ten is pretty flat with only Stellar making more gains today with a 2.3% rise to $0.126. Litecoin has retaken fourth spot as Bitcoin Cash dumps 6% of its recent gains<\/a>. The top twenty is largely in the green at the moment but movement is marginal. Ethereum Classic is up 4% and Tron is gaining a couple but the rest are pretty immobile. Bitcoin SV is following BCH and dumping 7%.<\/p>\n

FOMO: Maximine Coin is Back<\/h2>\n

Following a huge dump yesterday MXM is alive and kicking again today as the top one hundred\u2019s top performer with a surge of 55% on the day. This altcoin is displaying classic pump and dump chart patterns so the fomo is unlikely to last. Pundi X is also having a spike today as it pumps 25% due to an Upbit listing;<\/p>\n
